Louis Armstrong - Rare and Unreleased Recordings (Book-of-the-Month Records); disc four. Someone gave this to me twenty-something years ago, and 75 percent was new to me at the time. Since then, and since the CD boom. I have everything on the first three records elsewhere, except for two tracks. On the fourth and last record, on the other hand, I only have three of the twelve tracks elsewhere, although I imagine that most have been released on CD by now. Among the tasty treats are a rehearsal take of "Back O' Town Blues" (you can hear Louis instructing the band on the background riffs they should be playing), a "Mack the Knife" duet with Lotte Lenya, and an outtake from The Real Ambassadors with Dave Brubeck.

One of the first jazz lp records I owned, a gift from a coworker of my father's (a Peace Corps volunteer under my father's direction in Swaziland). I'm amazed at the ruggedness of this mono Atlantic vinyl, and how I've somehow managed to keep it playable and enjoyable to this day.

Great Jazz Reeds (RCA Camden). This 1958 anthology on RCA's budget label is very interesting, not just because it collects some great great music, but because it has some rare alternate takes - notably the hard-to-find take two of "Victory Ball" by the 1949 Metronome All Stars.

Cisco reissue. Haven't spun this one in a while. Such a good album that I should really spin more often. And this Cisco reissue sounds great, despite the drums sounding somewhat "boxy", or...something. Really hate that Cisco aren't around anymore. They did good work.

Lee Morgan/Hank Mobley - A-1: The Savoy Sessions (Savoy). Didn't realize until I got this one home that it's just Introducing Lee Morgan with a first-issue bonus track. That's okay - I'm glad to have the extra track.

And the Cecil Taylor 1957 Newport set from:

Masters of the Modern Piano (Verve).
